Vision: I See a Woman Standing with the Stars ~  Robin Morningstar Dick

I see a woman standing with the stars, and the moon above. The woman is staring at the light commencing from the moon. Down upon her there is a spirited horse that she is looking at. I see in the vision it is a brown painted horse. I see a stunning blue turquoise bracelet that is bright and alluring to the woman’s eye. So lovely. The beauty brings feeling that brings to her thoughts a joyful, happy time and place.  She is looking at the beautiful blue turquoise bracelet that is bright, her long black hair blowing in the wind.  The wind brings to her an enormous strength.  As she sees the earth below, she sees such a magnificent observation of the rocks, and the Earth.  The vision she sees is a splendid waterfall near the rocks that is illuminating and brilliant.  

The significance that she is looking upon is seen in the vision that provides mythology, folklore and tradition.  The colors seen are yielding midnight blue, profound purple and many other bright colors.  There is also smoke that encircles the woman standing with the stars.  Her long black hair is flowing with the wind.

Woman standing with the stars: symbol of strength such as a direction and shelter to her people.

The Horse with brown paint is her navigator; powerful, robust and fast as the wind.

The Moon is yet a higher power.  

The Stars are the elders that are giving her directions and powers.

The beautiful blue turquoise bracelet  symbols feelings of affection for harmony and peacefulness.  

Standing with the moon and the stars, I see a shadow on the sun.

Standing with the moon and the stars, the stars go fading one by one.

I hear a cry of victory, another of defeat.  I'm feeling so forsaken and blue, but I hear the sound of drums that thunder all around and about me. I see a new day that brings a renewing to the mind, body and soul.  It is both a refreshing and time of renewal, a time of gathering with the elders from the past.  A time of hunting, fishing, eating, playing and laughing. A time when the woman standing with the stars sees the white buffalo run.
